Donald Trump’s trade nominee won’t even say the word “Argentina.”
Why? Maybe because Trump doesn't want you to know that he dug up billions of dollars to give to Argentina while Argentina is working with China to undercut American farmers.

In George Orwell's "1984," the Ministry of Truth altered historical records and discarded unwelcome data in "memory holes." The Trump administration isn’t just threatening free press; they are eliminating data. Data suppression is a well-documented authoritarian tactic.

Another day, another assault on free speech… And another instance of corporate complicity with this authoritarian takeover.
“When I say that it would be nice to see the platforms show a spine and just begin to do transparency disclosures, I also am fearful that they have decided that that would be something that the administration would see as antagonistic. And so they won't make that decision.” slate.trib.al/BwNF6BJ
Did The Trump Administration Censor Speech?
The Trump administration is explicitly censoring speech it doesn’t like, after spending years claiming that the democrats were running a censorship cabal.

This administration is a bottomless pit of corruption.
“The move marks a striking departure from government procedure for funding the military, which traditionally relies on public funds appropriated by Congress.”
“Traditionally” is doing a lot of work there.
Another day. Another example of brazen corruption.
